Operation MBRAUN offers the safest, fastest and easiest way to dispense ultra dry solvents. MBRAUN SPS systems provide laboratories with unique safety features and benefits, specifically designed to meet the needs of the customer. The MBRAUN Solvent Purification System operates by way of solvent storage vessels being pressurized through an inert gas supply (Typically a nitrogen source of 99.99% purity or better). The solvent rises through the dip tube and flows through a series of two filter columns that absorb moisture from the solvent. Ultra dry solvents are then dispensed into evacuated collection vessels directly at the system and/or into an integrated glovebox system. Exhausted purifier columns are disposed of by the customer and activated replacement columns are provided by MBRAUN. Figure A.

Glossary Dispensing Solvent Storage Reservoir Working Gas Filter Column Exhaust PTFE-Purge Hose Vacuum Pump Pressure Reducing Valve The Top Valve The Lower Valve Degassing Clamping Posts and Shelving Vapor Spigot Hood Solvent Collection Vessel (Glassware) Dispensing Adapters Glovebox Integration Definition Dispensing solvent is performed using a three step process. The first step involves evacuating the collection vessel to create an dry environment. The second step is the actual dispensing. Step three clears the line, so solvent does not remain stored in the dispensing line while the system is not in use. MBRAUN includes a 17 liter solvent storage reservoir per solvent line along with the SPS system. (Additional vessel sizes available upon request) Each storage vessel is equipped with connections for bubble degassing procedure. MBRAUN solvent reservoirs include an overpressure valve, solvent supply line, nitrogen push line and a dip tube assembly with clamp. MBRAUN SPS systems can also hook up directly to any third party solvent keg system. MBRAUN SPS Systems are pressurized by an inert working gas (Typically a nitrogen source of 99.99% purity or better) with a minimum working pressure of 4 bars. MBRAUN utilizes a double filter column per solvent. The filter column is designed to absorb the moisture from organic solvents and is equipped with pre-filters and a quick connection system for easy replacement once the column is fully saturated. New fully activated columns are available as spare parts. The SPS system is equipped with two connections for exhaust (located at the top of the SPS system and at the rear side of the solvent storage safety cabinet) to be connected with customer s ventilation system. The PTFE-Purge Hose is located on the left side wall of the system and is connected to the working gas. The purge hose is equipped with an adapter and a manual valve. The purpose of the purge hose is to clear the solvent line after dispensing. MBRAUN provides an oil free diaphragm pump as an optional item on all SPS systems. Customers may utilize other vacuum systems as well, including facilities vacuum system. The pressure reducing valve is utilized to adjust the secondary pressure for pressurizing the solvent reservoirs. The pressure depends upon the viscosity of the solvent being used as well as the intended flow rate during dispensing. The permitted pressure range is 0.3 to 0.5 bar (30 to 50 kpa). The top valve opens/closes the connection to the vacuum pump and the working gas (N2 or Ar) which is used to purge out and back fill the collection vessel. The lower valve dispenses ultra dry solvents into collection vessels that have been purged with the working gas via the top valve. The degassing process removes dissolved air from solvents by purging with inert gas (Nitrogen). Degassing is performed after installing the solvent reservoir inside the safety cabinet. The exhaust of the safety cabinet should be connected to the laboratory ventilation system during degassing, so that any solvent vapor released during purging is safely removed. Stainless steel clamping posts and shelving are standard features on the MB SPS 5 or 7 and the MB SPS AUTO. Clamping posts are used to secure the collection vessels for dispensing solvents. The stainless steel work shelf offers a height adjustable work space to which the clamping post are connected to. MBRAUN offers an integrated vapor hood that connects directly to customers supplied HVAC system via a 4 port located at the top of the system. Glassware is used to dispense ultra dry solvents into. Specially designed glassware for the MBRAUN SPS system are available. MBRAUN offers NS 29/32 6 mm ground neck-fitting made from fluorocarbon polymer and/or glass, for connection to piping with an outer diameter of Ø 6 mm, with screw nut made from polypropylene (PP). All MBRAUN SPS systems have the option to dispense ultra dry solvents directly at the system or into an existing glovebox. Optional items include piping solvent lines directly through the glovebox or coming through the KF 40 vacuum feedthrough.
